My Dear Mary: I send you this because I don\u2019t know what to do with it. I suppose, really, I want it to see the light of day. One does. I suppose the complete genius keeps his pictures stacked in the studio and never shows them to anybody. I was never like that, but then I was never a genius \u2013 just Mr Larraby, the promising young portrait painter.<\/p>\n

Well, my dear, you<\/i> know what it is, none better \u2013 to be cut off from the thing you loved doing and did well because you loved doing it. That\u2019s why we were friends, you and I. And you know about this writing business \u2013 I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

If you read this manuscript, you\u2019ll see that I\u2019ve taken Barge\u2019s advice. You remember? He said, \u2018Try a new medium.\u2019 This is a portrait \u2013 and probably a damned bad one because I don\u2019t know my medium. If you say it\u2019s no good, I\u2019ll take your word for it, but if you think it has, in the smallest degree, that significant form we both believe to be the fundamental basis of art \u2013 well, then, I don\u2019t see why it shouldn\u2019t be published. I\u2019ve put the real names, but you can change them. And who is to mind? Not Michael. And as for Dermot he would never recognize himself! He isn\u2019t made that way. Anyway, as Celia herself said, her story is a very ordinary story. It might happen to anybody. In fact, it frequently does. It isn\u2019t her story I\u2019ve been interested in. All along it\u2019s been Celia herself. Yes, Celia herself\u00a0\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
